Claims matrix (summary):

- Claim: An RFP was issued before lease matters with the Spinners were resolved, creating a perception of a fait accompli. Claimed by Commissioner Tucker; Mayor Carney and Commissioner West responded that the town had previous meetings with the Spinners and that the Spinners had been offered joint use and had not bid in earlier solicitations. Status: unresolved in hearing; commissioners requested staff records.
